About Us
We are The Sound - the sound of Big Band Swing and Big Band Jazz, playing hits from
The Great American Songbook and beyond. Founded by Mr. Shelly London in 2008, the band has been swinging and singing ever since. And while the names and faces of our musicians have changed over the years, the heart of this Big Band continues to beat.
The Sound is comprised of 18 musicians - 5 saxophones, 4 trombones, 4 trumpets, and a
4- piece rhythm section of piano, bass, guitar and drums. And of course, what big band would be complete without a vocalist? We have one of those, too!
Our band members come from a wide variety of professional backgrounds. While several of us have made careers of music, our members include business professionals, engineers, teachers, veterans, an airline pilot, and even a doctor. And though our professional paths have been many, they all led us to a common cause - keeping "The Sound" of big band music alive and well for audiences to enjoy for many years to come.
We perform in venues throughout Central Florida with an expansive repertoire of jazz favorites and contemporary classics. Our musical library ranges from jazz and swing classics to popular standards to big band arrangements from the world of Rock, Blues, Latin and Funk. Wherever we go, our performances bring fun and pizzazz to parties, dances, and special events. We look forward to swinging with you! See you at the gig!
